India v New Zealand, 2nd ODI, Kotla: NZ beat India by six runs despite Pandya heroics

NEW DELHI: After his match-winning debut with the ball in the 1st ODI of the India v New Zealand series, Hardik Pandya stepped up with the bat scoring vital 36 runs in the slog overs taking India close to the target of 243, but India fell agonising short by six runs as New Zealand won the 2nd ODI at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi on Thursday and levelled the five match series 1-1 with three more matches to go.

Chasing a target of 243, India found themselves tottering at 184 for 8 after the 41st over, before Pandya and tailender Umesh Yadav joined forces combining for a 49-run stand for the ninth wicket. The New Zealand bowling attack, otherwise disciplined, wilted under pressure even as Pandya and Umesh soaked in immense pressure as they knocked the ball around, found gaps, converted ones in twos and managed to find that odd boundary. But the experience of Trent Boult and Tim Southee came through in tough time as they bowled marvellously well to deny India and take New Zealand to their first ever win at Kotla.
Kane Williamson's calm and composed 118 off 128 balls, despite minimal support from his fellow batsmen, had helped NZ to 242 for nine, but the Kiwi skipper got good backing from his bowlers as they managed to chip away the Indian wickets at regular intervals. India never really enjoyed an upperhand while batting, exemplified by the fact that India's best partnership was 66 runs that came for the fifth wicket between MS Dhoni (39) and Kedar Jadhav (41). However, the duo got out at crucial junctures of the match and despite Pandya's valiant knock New Zealand emerged victorious in a thriller.
Boult registered a fantastic spell of 10-2-25-2, while Matt Henry (1/51), Southee (3/52), Mitchell Santner (1/49) and Martin Guptill (2/6) found themselves among the wickets. After India were reduced to 72 for 4, Dhoni and Jadhav had reignited the fledging Indian innings but their departures in quick succession coupled with an extraordinary 41st over bowled by Guptill put New Zealand in front. Pandya and Umesh upped the hopes of the ruckus Kotla crowd, but NZ pushed through for the victory.
It was a good start for NZ with the ball with Henry and Boult - both drafted in for this game after being rested for the 1st ODI - exploiting the assistance on offer under lights and kept a check on the Indian run-rate. Rohit Sharma hit a magnificent straight six off a length ball from Henry but India could only manage 18 runs off the first six overs. Rohit however departed edging a back of length delivery from Boult to wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi for 15. Virat Kohli went for a flick to a delivery going down leg but only managed an edge off Mitchell Santner which was taken superbly by Ronchi.
Manish Pandey and Ajinkya Rahane then took India's score past the fifty-run mark. The slowness of the Kotla pitch was evident when the slow bowlers -Santner and Anton Devcich - operated but against pacers the Indian duo looked at ease. But Rahane was undone by a bouncer from Southee and walked back after scoring 28 off 49 balls. In the next over - the 20th - Pandey perished to a run-out and India found themselves in trouble at 72 for four.
The duo of Jadhav and Dhoni took time to get their eye in and then upped the ante with Jadhav playing the aggressor's role. With 109 runs in 20 overs and Dhoni in the middle meant India were ahead, if only marginally, but the wicket Jadhav by Henry halted India's momentum. Jadhav had used the late dab towards third man for runs and he tried to guide another outside off delivery past the wicketkeeper, only this time, it was full delivery and an edge to Ronchi was well taken by the keeper. Still Dhoni was in the middle but he clearly was struggling to get going consuming 65 balls for his 39 runs and his wicket by Southee in the 40th doused hopes of an Indian comeback. Dhoni drove a pitched up delivery just a bit too early and Southee took a superb one-handed return catch to send the Indian skipper packing.
Then, New Zealand found an unlikely wicket-taker in Guptill as the opener removed Axar Patel and Amit Mishra in the 41st over to leave India tottering at 184 for 8.

Samsung Galaxy On Nxt Launched in India

While Flipkart still hasn’t fulfilled its promise of revealing the Samsung Galaxy On Nxt, which was scheduled to happen at 8pm on Thursday, someone at Samsung India seems to have jumped the gun by listing the smartphone on the company’s website.

According to the listing, which was still live at the time of publishing this post, the smartphone will be priced at Rs. 18,490 and be available in Gold and Black colours. The Galaxy On Nxt was earlier confirmed to be Flipkart exclusive, and we'll have to wait for details from the e-commerce major for details on when the phone will go up for purchase.

The Samsung Galaxy On Nxt looks identical on paper to the Galaxy On7 (2016), down to the physical dimensions, which makes us believe it’s nothing but a rebranding of the smartphone that launched in China last month. The phone features a full metal unibody design and it comes with 5.5-inch full-HD display protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass.

The Galaxy On Nxt is powered by an octa-core SoC clocked at 1.6GHz alongside 3GB of RAM. The phone packs 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a dedicated microSD slot The dual-Nano-SIM Samsung Galaxy On Nxt is backed by a 3300mAh battery that’s rated to deliver up to 21 hours of 3G talk time and up to 15 hours of Internet usage over LTE.


The Samsung Galaxy On Nxt packs a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 8-megapixel front camera, both with f/1.9 aperture. The rear camera is backed by a flash and it is capable of recording full-HD video. Connectivity options include GPS, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Wi-Fi Direct, but there’s no NFC. A fingerprint sensor is thrown into the home button for good measure.

At this price point, the Samsung Galaxy On Nxt will compete with the likes of Lenovo Z2 Plus that launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 17,999.

Super Typhoon Haima batters Philippines

The storm, which brought sustained winds of up to 225km/h (140mph), made landfall over Cagayan in the north on Wednesday.
Nearly 100,000 people were evacuated from threatened areas as the storm approached.
There was widespread damage overnight, with homes destroyed and power lines brought down.
Authorities said two of those killed were buried in a landslide, and two others buried in a shanty town in a mountainous region.

Experts had feared Haima could prove as destructive as the catastrophic super typhoon Haiyan, which claimed more than 7,350 lives in 2013.
The Philippines endures around 20 major storms every year, many of them deadly.
"I'm 60 years old, this is the strongest typhoon I have ever seen," village councillor Willie Cabalteja told news outlet the Associated Press.
President Rodrigo Duterte, in Beijing on a state visit, had said he prayed the Philippines would be spared but that they were "ready".
"We only pray we be spared the destruction such as previous times. Everything has been deployed."

The storm was upgraded to a super typhoon just before it hit in Penablanca, a town in Cagayan province, around 23:00 local time (1500 GMT) on Wednesday.
On Thursday morning, there were reports of damage across a wide area.
"Rice and corn plants as far as the eye can see are flattened," Villamor Visaya, a teacher in the northern city of Ilagan told the AFP.
"Many houses were destroyed. I saw one school building crushed under a large tree... it was as if our house was being pulled from its foundations."
Haima, known as Lawin locally, had a weather band 800km (500 miles) wide, and authorities had warned the public to expect fierce winds and storm surges up to five metres (16 feet) or higher.
It is the second typhoon to hit the Philippines in a week, after Sarika struck on Sunday. At least one person was killed in that storm, and three people are still missing.
Haima is now moving out across the South China Sea towards Hong Kong and southern China.
